For Christians that believe in an old earth, & that in Genesis 1 day is like 1000 years , how come everywhere eles in the bible it refers to a 24 hr. period?

And

For the Christians that beieve in a young earth, how come science shows earth older then many of you believe it is?

those who dress or listen to emo/scene? Those who are emo don't usually cut themselves, aren't always depressed, don't cry all the time, and are most likely really nice people when you get to know them. So...why are they so hated by others? Why are there so many stereotypes that go along with the whole emo/scene thing?

For me, the strangest aspect of life is that time seems to pass much faster, the older I get. As a child, summers seemed last an eternity.

No sarcastic answers please...What are your thoughts about when you take your last breath on this earth and you do not just go into the ground, but you stand before God and he judges you. Keep in mind that once you are there your choice to deny Him on earth causes Him to deny you in that situation.

If you answer 'no' to this question, then you must be one or more of these things:
1. Ignorant;
2. Worst case of delusion;
3. Blind or blinded by faith;
4. Too young too think just yet;
5. Inexperienced;
6. God themselves;
7. Atheist;
8. Add it yourself.

I know it since I was a Protestant and I couldn't help but doubt the bible, the priests, the religion, and God...all the time while forcing myself to believe.

What makes you doubt your religion or bible or...God? Why?

RAmen~!

Whay does it mean when people say my 5 month old baby has an old soul? One woman told me it's something about her eyes and she has an old soul. Another woman at a grocery store also told me that my daughter has an old soul.

mine is:
Not in my name, you don't speak for me

You want my air, you want my life
I act as one, but I'm not alone.

The assertion that there is ONLY ONE TRUE CHURCH among so many does not sit well with their standard of fairness and justice. IF GOD CHOOSES PEOPLE FOR HIMSELF AND DOES NOT CHOOSE THE OTHERS...

i was educated in the catholic school system, but remember little of st. augustine, the 1st doctor of the church, a brilliant theoligist. i have prayed for faith every day for about 4 years, the answer to date has been no. didn't st. augustine's mother pray for his conversion for 20 years, or at least a long time? didn't he say something to the effect of the human soul is restless until he fills the void with god. i know i am butchering this saying. anyone out there who can help me with this? if it did take 20 years for st. augustine to find his faith, maybe there is hope for me...

I would like to hear from Irish women around 25-30 thinking of men in the same age range. Absolutely anything goes here. Whether it's a stereotype or a comment based on personal experience. Please tell me all the good and all the bad.

Earlier today I was presented with a rather unusual question: Is it ever o.k. to lie? According to the 9th commandment it is NEVER an acceptable practice. Consider for a moment the following example:

In WWII you have taken it upon yourself to assist and abet a gathering of jews in your attic, you supply them with all the necessary resources for survival. One day some members of the gestopo come to your door and ask you whether or not you had been assisting jews.

In this situation a certain contridiction is developed because of 6th commandment: "thou shall not kill." One is essentially left with two choices which both violate a commandment.

1. Lie, resulting in the violation of the 9th commandment.
2. Tell the truth, resulting in the violation of the 6th commandment.

Is this abnormal? Does this phenomenon ensure damnation for some individuals due to the fact that they violate a commandment for every possible choice presented to them?
